Terry,
Perhaps that shows that Jesus lived by the Intent of the
law, rather than upon the Letter of the law? We are to REST from work, not from
meeting our basic needs or the needs of others. Love overrules
everything. It is the highest intent of the law. That doesn’t mean we
should intentionally Work (as in earning money or mowing the lawn) on the
Sabbath. He gives us a break, so we will have time to commune with Him.
Not to enslave us. We are only enslaved by sin. Disobedience is sin.

He did address it. He was wrong. The command to keep
the sabbath had no exceptions, for good works or any other endeavor. If
it had, the Pharisees would not have been upset by Jesus healing repeatedly
on that day.
Jesus could have put off His healings until Sunday.
The beneficiaries of His goodness had been the way they were for a long
time. One more day would not have mattered, but Jesus DELIBERATELY
healed on the sabbath, and picked grain on the sabbath, to show what a
loving God intended. The sabbath was made to give man a break, not to
enslave him. According to the Pharisees, you had no option.
According to Jesus, based on what He said and the example He set, you do have
an option. I choose to follow Jesus. How 'bout you?

Terry, Did you actually read what he wrote before you
asked this question. I thought he already addressed this issue quite well.

If Jesus had ever sinned, He cpuld not have been the
sinless sacrifice required to satisfy God, the father.
Jesus worked on the Sabbath, and was not a
sinner. That tells me that working on the sabbath is not a sin.
Others will no doubt see it differently, but my Lord said that man was not
made for the sabbath.

Sabbath-keeping: http://www.newwine.org/Sabbath3/Grace_b.htm.
What do you think about it? Izzy
